Komodo

1999 · 89 min

A routine creature-feature that delivers occasional jumps and a few laughs, but mostly feels like a forgettable monster movie.

Tagline
Welcome to the bottom of the food chain.
Overview
During the 70's, some Komodo Dragon eggs were dumped on an North Carolina island. Somehow, the baby Komodos survived, and twenty years later they have grown up and taken over the island for themselves. Young Patrick has lost his parents and his dog to the lizards, but didn't see them himself, which has left him traumatized. Now, with his therapist Victoria, they return to confront his fears.
